Why thank you! You know what they say: If you can't beat them, join them. I invite you to join me in becoming big and smart.

Surprising that you didn't... you might have a gap there. This is a site dedicated to saving fuel (says so, right in the header) and you are talking about a device that will save fuel, right?

Give me a break.
Which is exactly why you don't want to rely on a machine to do it for you. The machine doesn't care if you are made to look like a fool, but you should, right? Blaming the machine is just a cop out.

Now that you brought it up..but from all the problems with proving it..I don't know if I can bother.

I don't care...and I don't have time to spell check the spell checker.

Old Joke...Country store..customer talking with owner, "Say you have misspelled nearly every word on your adds on the front of the Store..."

Owner replies, "I do that on purpose, the city slickers see it and rush in here thinking I so dumb they will get great buys."

Is that your business strategy?

At least the owner didn't blame a machine; the owner took full responsibility.

Yes, that's exactly your problem. As Mark Twain (probably) wrote "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." Your posts are just filled with things that "just ain't so", starting with your spelling (believe it or not, some people actually learn to do this without resorting to a spell checker), ranging through your claims about dinosaurs in the La Brea tar pits, your utter ignorance about petroleum formation, your ridiculous claim that volcanos put out more emissions than automobiles... And that's not even getting into your conspiracy theories.

But I am honest enough to consider counter points.
But why not take the trouble to either qualify your statements, or actually do some checking before making such howlers? You might actually have something useful to say, but people are going to judge you by the whole of your output. If you are so obviously wrong about such fairly simple things, why on Earth do you think anyone would respect your opinion on anything else?
